Multiple Projects using Multiple Trac Environments

+= Multiple Projects using Multiple Trac Environments =
+
+This is the traditional way of handling multiple projects with Trac:
+create a new environment for tracking a given software project.
+
+That way, each project is managed independantly from the others.
+This can be achieved using mod_python and tracd. Further technical
+documentation about the setup can be found in TracMultipleProjects.
+
+This page is for discussing open points related to using
+multiple environments for managing multiple projects, and
+for contrasting this approach to an alternative approach
+described in TracMultipleProjects/SingleEnvironment.
+
+== One or Multiple Repositories? ==
+
+It is straightforward to manage multiple repositories
+using this approach: as each environment is based on a 
+given (Subversion) repository, simply create an environment
+for each repository, as required.
+
+However, there are two common situations that are quite
+common and are currently not well addressed:
+ 1. the different repositories are within the same company
+    or team (e.g. one repository for some legacy application,
+    one for new applications, one for the common components, ...)
+    and there is a need to have some kind of integration
+    between the projects
+ 2. there's only one repository actually, containing many projects
+    
+
+The first concern was expressed in #234. A proposed solution
+was to introduce the InterTrac extension for TracLinks.
+
+The second concern was first expressed in #586, and has 
+been reiterated several times since (#1025, #1059, #1398).
+Since [1413] (the new ''versioncontrol'' layer), there is 
+actually support for working on a subset of a repository,
+but this will only work if the project is fully self-contained
+within the given URL.
